The controversial comments made by the Australian Football League celebrity have stirred up  a hornet’s nest of politically correct idolaters,  incandescent in their fury that anyone should dare speak out about their religious beliefs!

We should note that the man was simply responding to a question asked of him on social media, and he must have realised that in his position, it would go viral and cause him problems which he has experienced before.

The fact that Israel has the courage to put his beliefs before his huge income, and it is the protesters who have the problem, not Folau, for he has said that God rather than the AFL has the priority in his life, and he is obviously prepared to pay the penalty.  Jesus said: ‘If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.’ John15:19-20. Sadly it seems that free speech is no longer so free.

OK, so he could have framed his responce more diplomatically, and more accurately, for biblically  he should have said ‘Lake of Fire’ rather than ‘Hell’ but it adds up to much the same thing. If sinners do not repent, and we all sin, the Bible states that is our fate. Tough.

We all have to choose, and the Bible tells us what is right and what is wrong, so in the end, it is the protesters who are making the big mistake. Folau is not a fanatic. He just recognises that God’s word does not change with political correctness. It still says that the wages of sin is eternal death, unless we repent.”

Around the world politicians are seen as self- interested elites corrupted by greed, political correctness and a desire to be part of a global caste which lives in a bubble isolated from , as Hillary put it, ‘the deplorables’. There are but a few exceptions who look for a conviction politician to lead them back to their true role as representatives of the people.

That they can stray so far from that role is summed up in the British Parliament where from day one of the Brexit fiasco the majority of politicians insisted that they knew better than the people, and refused to carry out their voted instructions, and have brought about  the epic confusion that has most Britons in despair.

For this to occur in the mother of all parliaments is a signal that good government will never be attained by our own choice. Many years ago a crusty old history teacher told his 6th form in a Civics lesson that the only good form of government is that of a benevolent despot!

Later I came to realise that he was correct. The world’s governments are in for a big change. First the world will fall to a powerful dictatorship under a Biblically prophesied ‘Beast’.  This will, after Armageddon,  be replaced by a system of government which will bring true peace, prosperity and equality to nations worldwide.

It will be the government  of an Eternal Benevolent Despot, who will need  no politicians, for He is training a group who will share in that worldwide government with Him, who fully understand that their role is to serve, just as their Example did. That Example is Jesus Christ, and his Kingdom will spread from Jerusalem to cover the whole world.

Isaiah 2:3-4, ”And many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,  to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Then He will judge between the nations and arbitrate for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor train anymore for war.”
